TL;DR: The DJI Mini 4K drone is available to purchase for $299 on Amazon.
DJI is one of the biggest names in drones, with a strong reputation for creating incredible aerial shots. The DJI product range is the top choice of TikTokers, YouTubers, and filmmakers. That being said, we were surprised to see the DJI Mini 4K drone as one of the best-sellers over Prime Day. We knew these drones were popular, but surely not as popular as AirPods?
Then the real reason hit us like a drone to the head.
President Donald Trump has signed two executive orders aimed at helping the U.S. drone industry and shoring up protections against malicious drone activity. The measures don’t actually order a full ban on Chinese-made drones (yet), but talk of a ban on DJI drones has been doing the rounds for a while now. That uncertainty is clearly causing an uptick in sales.

The good news for anyone hoping to get ahead of a potential ban is that you can still find the DJI Mini 4K drone on Amazon, listed for $299 right now. It’s being sold by Fly Image Tech at the time of writing. We generally don’t recommend third-party sellers, but they have decent reviews and times are tough right now. We’ll take what we can get.

The DJI Mini 4K is full of helpful features for beginners and advanced users alike. It has one-tap takeoff options and a return to home function. But perhaps most importantly for content creators is the three-axis gimbal and 4K quality, as well as advanced wind resistance and extended battery life. It’s a step up from the DJI Neo Mini 4K that we think creators will appreciate.
